I loving love that combo. It's in my Captain Sisay deck.

Whats really annoying is that I'm likely going to have to cut Yomiji, because he lets me do degenerate poo poo like that, and the deck isn't degenerate enough to hold up to hate.

Picturing this as Kiora summoning up a whirlpool and giving Jace the multiverse's biggest swirlie.

Everyone should watch this. He just went off with March of the Machines and Jeskai Ascendancy and Legacy Weapon to exile his opponent's entire board, except Teysa Envoy of Ghosts because she has protection from creatures and the Legacy Weapon had become a creature. It's amazing.

Origins had Helm of the Gods, Herald of the Pantheon, Starfield of Nyx, and a Sigil of the Empty Throne reprint. On a lower level were Blightcaster and #Blessed Spirits.

Origins also had thopter spy network and other artifact-matters cards, so I'm not sure what the point is. They were both subthemes of the set.

It was a subtheme that was more supported in Origins than in Born of the Gods.

I haven't played the Legend Cube, but I suspect that is somewhat less true in a format where it is apparently realistic to hard cast Progenitus.

Silly question, you know how after a draft you can put in as many of the 5 basic land types you want for your 40 card deck? What exactly is the rule on that?

I know they can change the rules if they want, but currently could you put in as many waste as you want, or do you only get what you draft? Is it based on it being a basic land, a basic land with a land type, or do the rules name those 5 specific traditional basic land cards?

You couldn't do that with snow land in Coldsnap. You just had to draft Snow-Covered Mountain.

Based on what oracle says, looks like you are right. Thats nots just a basic land, it even had the island land type. You can use as many as you want in constructed, but for limited it looks like the rules do name the 5 specific cards.

He is right. The only lands that you are allowed to use that weren't part of your draft picks or sealed pool in Limited are named Forest, Plains, Island, Mountain, Swamp.

Presumably not, because tribal flames counts basic land types, and wastes doesn't have a subtype.

No dude, the only reason they're doing this is to expand on game mechanics that have been there from the start but haven't been so clearly defined or manipulated.

Aint no thing like me, 'cept me.
I'm wondering if Wastes won't be the only type of ♦ producing basic land since it occupies a common slot instead of the land slot in the booster.

If they want these things to be available in sealed, wouldn't they need to put ♦ lands in 3-4 common slots ?

Maybe I'm the only one but I keep looking at all the ♦ symbols and the {D} notation and thinking that wastes gives you the {D}. For your spells. Kozilek needs a double dose of your pimp {D} game or he won't show.

He spells it with 2 {D}s, he says, for a double dose of his pimping.
